A result I owe entirely to Katie and her incredible team. From the very beginning, they demonstrated not only professionalism and expertise, but genuine care and dedication.
This wasn’t just a job to them they truly care about their clients and go above and beyond in every sense. They supported me through one of the toughest times of my life with compassion, constant communication, and tireless hard work. They made a stressful and overwhelming process feel manageable and gave me the strength and clarity I needed to get through it.
Katie and her team fought for me every step of the way, and the outcome speaks volumes about their commitment and ability. I can’t thank them enough and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone facing a legal battle. You’re not just getting top legal representation you’re getting people who truly have your back.

was advised and assisted by Andy Rootsey and Grant Ambridge in my case after a false allegation was made against me. Police notified my solicitors today that no further action will be taken against me brining my case to a close. I would like to pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation to Andy and Grant for advising me throughout and assisting me in gathering and presenting my evidence to prove my innocence. Top class service.

I had an exceptionally good experience with a very successful outcome working with Andy Rootsey which resulted in a successfully negotiated pre-charge engagement process and very good outcome.
Throughout Andy was compassionate and understanding as well as being highly professional and efficient. He used his vast experience of the PRE process to put together a thorough defence and explanation of my case. He was proactive and comprehensive in his approach and the whole process was dealt with successfully and swiftly. Can highly recommend.

I would like to pass on my sincere thanks and gratitude to Andy Rootsey for all his advice and assistance in my case which was discontinued this week before my matter came Trial. I had been charged with being over the limit in charge of a motor vehicle and faced the prospect of losing my licence upon conviction. I approached Andy upon recommendation, and he immediately assisted me in preparing my defence to show that there was no likelihood of me driving the vehicle whilst over the limit. The Prosecution have now dropped the case against me, and I am delighted with the outcome. Thank you, Andy.

I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to Andy Rootsey after the Not Guilty verdicts were entered against me today at my Trial. I faced a charge of GBH and maintained from the beginning that I was not responsible. Although I was picked out on an ID parade, Andy challenged the fairness of the parade and legal submissions were put before the Trial Judge. Today we finally vindicated and I was formally acquitted as a result of the hard work and perseverance of Andy and the team.
